Volunteer Opportunities

As the parent of a student enrolled at Stewarts Creek Elementary, you are automatically a member of the SCE PTO. If you looking for a way to get more involved with your child's education, active participation in the SCE PTO is a perfect opportunity to create a closer connection with the staff and other parents. Your involvement, whether for a single event or an ongoing program, will be greatly appreciated by the school and students alike.

Volunteering gives you a great opportunity to meet your child's friends and classmates as well as connect as a family. You will be rewarded with smiles and waves from the kids as you make your way down the hall.

If you are interested in volunteering your time in any capacity, please complete the information on the back of this form.
